Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has asked education minister Atishi to raise the national flag on Independence Day, according to Gopal Rai, the environment minister for Delhi, who made the announcement on Monday.
Rai has also written a letter to the General Administration Department (GAD) saying, “I had a meeting with the chief minister today. He desires that minister Atishi should hoist the flag on 15th August 2024 at the Chhatrasal Stadium event in his place. All the necessary arrangements be made accordingly.”
Every year, the Delhi government’s Independence Day function takes place at Chhatrasal Stadium where chief minister Kejriwal addresses the gathering.
Earlier, on August 7, AAP announced that chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has also written to the Delhi LG that Atishi would hoist the national flag in his place.
However, the LG office denied receiving any such communication from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). A Raj Niwas official said, “With regards to the claims in various sections regarding the flag hoisting on August 15, it is clarified that the LG secretariat is not in receipt of any such communication whatsoever.”
